Oil Paint Glaze Over a Charcoal Mule Deer Drawing
Really enjoyed drawing this one. Charcoal and oil paint on 40"x30" canvas. Mule deer are always a fun challenge. This was my first time drawing a doe and a buck together. Thanks for watching!

Drawing a Big Bison with Charcoal on Canvas
Переглядів 2,7 тис.4 місяці тому
Probably my favorite bison drawing so far. Started with a couple layers of gesso on a 36"x48" canvas. Sketched out the big guy with a charcoal pencil, then started adding more layers to make him come alive. So much fun! Hope you enjoy watching. Thanks!

Oil Paint Glazing Over a Charcoal Cowboy Drawing
Переглядів 7 тис.Рік тому
I'm really enjoying the textures I'm getting as I work to develop my technique with this charcoal drawing and oil paint glazing process. I brushed on a couple layers of gesso before beginning the charcoal drawing. Then after sealing a few layers of charcoal, I glazed over it all with an oil paint wash. It's a really fun process. Hope you enjoy watching. Thanks! Artwork available here: joelpilch...
Oil Glaze Over a Charcoal Pronghorn Drawing on Canvas
Переглядів 4,2 тис.Рік тому
I'm starting to feel more a little comfortable with this process, but it still makes me nervous every time I brush the oil paint over my charcoal drawing. This was a fun subject as well. Pronghorn antelope are one of the most commonly seen wild animals in the area where I live, so it was fun to finally draw/paint one. Hope you enjoy the video. Thanks everyone!

Painting an Oil Glaze Over a Charcoal Moose Drawing
Переглядів 4,8 тис.Рік тому
Just experimenting here with a new idea for my charcoal drawings. I drew the charcoal moose following my usual process, but then decided to add a sepia tone by glazing over it with oil paint and then using a subtractive technique to lighten values. Overall I'm very happy with the outcome and the process is an absolute blast. Hope you enjoy watching. Thanks! Available artwork: joelpilcherart.com...

Update! - I did a previous video explaining my process for sealing my charcoal original drawings, but I've had to change a few things (mostly due to problems with product availability). So, I decided to do a new video and I included a some additional details. I hope this adds some clarification. If there are any other questions, please leave them in the comments. Thanks!

Gorilla Art Time Lapse - First Time Using Charcoal & Oil Paint Together
Переглядів 5 тис.Рік тому
I like trying new processes. Art should be an adventure, and this smaller piece was exactly that. It was the first time for me using charcoal and oil paint together. I love subtractive drawing with charcoal, so I thought I'd try a similar process with oil painting. It was so fun! I'm sure I'll be doing more like this. Hope you enjoy the video. Thanks!

Drawing and Painting a Big Bass with Charcoal and Acrylic on Canvas
Переглядів 2,8 тис.Рік тому
I've never caught a largemouth bass this big, but it sure was fun to draw and paint! This piece is titled "Hooked". I started with an acrylic wash, added a base of charcoal powder, then sketched it out with vine charcoal. Next I used a kneaded eraser to erase out highlights, sprayed with acetone and fixative, then added another layer fo charcoal. Finally I painted in the highlights with acrylic...
Drawing a Bison with Charcoal on Canvas

This bison drawing is titled "Headstrong" and I created it using charcoal on canvas. I've drawn quite a few of these animals because they're one of my favorite. Bison used to be scattered throughout the area where I currently live and I still have the opportunity to see them when I ride my mountain bike out on Antelope Island. So cool. Hope you enjoy the video. Thanks! Prints and product featur...
Drawing & Painting an African Lion: Charcoal & Acrylic on Canvas

This lion is obviously the king of his domain. I titled this drawing/painting "No Worries" because he doesn't seem to have any. It also pays homage to a favorite animated movie from my childhood. Using this combination of charcoal and acrylic is a challenge, but the unique result is always worth the effort. I love drawing lions and hope to do more soon. Hope you enjoy this video. Thanks!

This moose artwork is titled "Big Dipper" and I created it using charcoal and acrylic on canvas. I do a lot of mountain biking in the Rocky Mountains near where I live and I often see moose along the trail.

    Hey Joel, This is Jimmy Smith art, I think it's showing up to you as Laura Smith, my wife. But anyway, Could you tell me what kind or what brand of white pencil that works best on on canvas charcoal drawings? Does pastel & chalk pencils work as good as charcoal pencils? Also how many times can you workable fix your canvas drawings. Some times I'll go 4 times, reckon that cool?

    Among the factors that you stated for the over hunting of the bison, one of which was the 'One less buffalo is one less Indian' program... they were trying to starve out the plains Natives. Very sad part of american history. They don't teach the important stuff in public schools.

I’d love to watch all your videos from start to finish on how you apply & work your charcoal/mediums. I love attention to detail & realism is definitely my style. Why I love your work so much! Can’t wait to watch your series of videos 🙏🏼😁 thank you from Australia Bridget

And by the time I learn and start fully painting in charcoal I hope to become like you ! Full of Stoic sense of being mixed with discipline and creativity .if I wasn’t in Ethiopia I would have purchased a print !! But I hope that my honest heartfelt words become your currency.

    I don’t know why I haven’t really done this before, but I came across your video when I had the thought to do more work with drawing all of CT he detail and glazing rather than predominantly painting a subject. I don’t want to limit myself to one particular style so I’m looking for variation. This is the first video I’ve found which was exactly what I was searching for, so thank you. How much more specific could I have gotten then by searching “detailed drawing under oil glazes”? 🫠
